New Zealand combines a well-regulated education system with a strong focus on practical learning, student wellbeing and internationally recognised qualifications. The right choice still depends on the student's academic profile, career objective, budget and the specific provider and programme.
| Study level | Typical pathway | FLC planning focus |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation / pathway | Preparatory study that can support progression to a degree where the provider has an approved pathway. | Academic readiness, progression rules, English, total cost and the final degree destination. |
| Undergraduate | Bachelor's degrees and other tertiary qualifications at universities and approved providers. | 12th-grade profile, prerequisites, English, provider entry rules, budget and career fit. |
| Graduate / Master's | Postgraduate certificates, diplomas and master's programmes with provider-specific entry requirements. | Bachelor's relevance, academic results, English, prerequisites, CV, SOP and references where required. |
| Doctoral / Research | Doctoral study and research-focused programmes, with university/department-specific requirements. | Research fit, supervisor/faculty alignment, proposal where required and funding strategy. |
| Vocational / Applied | Certificates, diplomas and applied qualifications through approved providers. | Qualification level, PSWV eligibility, industry relevance and the current eligible-qualification list. |
International students must have medical and travel insurance that is acceptable to the education provider and meets the applicable student-visa requirements.
Funding is provider- and programme-specific. International students may find university scholarships, merit awards, research funding and other institutional opportunities. Eligibility, value and deadlines vary, so the student's chosen provider must be checked directly.
| Item | Current rule / amount | Planning note |
|---|---|---|
| Fee Paying Student Visa | From NZD $850 | INZ currently lists the fee from NZD $850. The amount can depend on application circumstances/location. |
| Living funds — tertiary / English / non-compulsory study | NZD $20,000/year | For study of one year or more; NZD $1,667/month where study is shorter than one year. |
| Tuition | Provider-specific | You must show evidence of tuition payment or an acceptable arrangement under the visa rules. |
| Insurance | Required | Must be acceptable to the education provider and meet the applicable requirements. |
| Pathway Student Visa | From NZD $750 | Separate visa category; can cover up to 3 courses in an approved pathway. |
The Fee Paying Student Visa is the main route for international students paying tuition fees to study at an approved provider. Other student visas exist for specific circumstances.
For tertiary, English-language or other non-compulsory study, INZ currently requires evidence of NZD $20,000 per year, or NZD $1,667 per month when the study period is shorter than one year, subject to the current rules.
INZ currently lists the Fee Paying Student Visa from NZD $850. The amount shown to an applicant can depend on the application circumstances and location.
Eligible students may be allowed to work up to 25 hours per week, and some can work full-time during scheduled holidays. The exact conditions are recorded on the student's visa.
Eligible graduates can stay and work for up to 3 years, depending on the qualification and study period. Lower-level non-degree qualifications have additional eligibility and job-related requirements.
Potentially, but not for every student. A Partner of a Student Work Visa is available only where the student's qualification meets the current eligibility rules and the relationship requirements are satisfied.
Family options depend on the student's qualification and circumstances. For example, a PhD student at a New Zealand university can support student visas for dependent children.
Some non-degree level 4–7 qualifications can qualify if they are on INZ's current eligible list and the graduate meets the study and work-related conditions.
No. FLC provides counselling, admissions and visa-preparation support. Immigration New Zealand makes the final visa decision.
For a degree-level 7 or higher qualification, the current rule generally requires at least 30 weeks of full-time study in New Zealand. Always check the qualification-specific INZ rules that apply when you apply.
Before choosing an institution, let FLC assess your academic profile, target programme, budget, intake, funding sources, family circumstances and visa readiness. The goal is a practical roadmap — not a generic list.
